  • A Nursery Crime
    by Christopher Birtwistle-Smith

    A pocket full of tissues / is what you said / Watch out little lady / or you’ll end up dead!

    what would be the subject matter of nursery rhymes today…. Domestic violence, a dirty little secret and its very hard to escape. Society portrays DV to be something that happens to women, not men. It was definitely not something I was expecting to experience as a male. Shameful as society thinks it is to be a man and be a victim of DV, I am not the only man to experience it. In writing this, I risk people I dont even know, thinking that I am weak and less of a man than the next person on the bus! I need to say that gay men are not always faced with DV or other negative situations, I say good luck to those that have seen smooth sailing. However generally gay men are at risk of: family rejection, school beatings, ostracising by the community for misrepresenting the stronger sex, ha! / And alas, attempted and achieved suicide. Then to find your romantic ‘saviour’ to be as violent if not more so, than the enemies outside of your love relationship – you wonder if you are worth anything at all. This trilogy for me is cathartic I know, self indulgent probably, uncompromising I hope so, healing I pray so. . .

  • fear strength love
    by Christopher Birtwistle-Smith

    break teeth cut jagged / soon you forgot I was human at all / spot weakness / crack ! / I wore your foot / your vicious words / your hand

    Number 2 the things i felt…....... Domestic violence, a dirty little secret and its very hard to escape. Society portrays DV to be something that happens to women, not men. It was definitely not something I was expecting to experience as a male. Shameful as society thinks it is to be a man and be a victim of DV, I am not the only man to experience it.

    by quackakeri

    You’ve done it again / I smile. 5.06. The end

    This poem is about the devestating climax to domestic violence using the anagram of a song. This poem, however has the ability to be interpreted in different ways by different people’s experiences affected their judgment of the poem. Think about it.

  • On Procrastination Of Domestic Duties
    by Brynn

    I see you watching me; yon mottled dust, / Must I fight thee in a duel?

    Another “Robbie Burns” type piece. Comedic and entertaining, I wrote this after my boss had asked me to clean out a disgutsing storage room. Instead I sat and wrote…and well, learned my lesson by the end.

  • Under demolition

    Amid his intoxicated anger, / like an ebony volcanic haze – erupted; / insanity strikes, trust disolves. / Quaking, as an army of strewn del…

    No person should experience the wrath of anothers anger… all of us are equal in this world. To use power of strength and violence over another merely shows a weakness and inability to communicate with other beings as is needed. Help is needed for the person demonstrating such rage as much as the person being violated. No abused person should feel wrong about seeking assistance to get out of such a situation….sadly many don’t ask when they can, and pay the next time with theirs or anothers life, bringing further pain to those around them and leaving more scars on those who would have been saved from such. If you are in this situation or know someone who is …for the sake of all, please…please get help quickly! You will be surprised how much help there is and how many people will understand and in reality be thankful you are safe….I know, I’m lucky, I survived and so did my children; you can too!
